[Zope-DB] Installing MySQLdb on OS X 10.3 (Panther)

[Matthew T. Kromer]

It seems to me that the Python provided with OS X is (was?) b0rked so 
you couldnt't complile your own extensions properly.  I would suggest 
you try building Python 2.3 yourself from source, and then I think 
you'll have better luck.
